Half Year Report – 31 December 2014
----- End of picture text -----
School messaging and software provider MGM Wireless (ASX:MWR) has released its strongest ever half year report with the announcement of financial results for the six months to 31 December 2014 (’2015 First Half ”).
The company has announced net profit after tax of $640,217 for the period, up from $132,478 in the previous corresonding period and consistent with guidance. Earnings per share more than doubled to 7.38 cents from 3.14 cents in the 2014 first half.
MGM Wireless CEO Mark Fortunatow said the record financial results had been driven by the combination of revenue growth and margin expansion brought by a higher yielding product mix and greater efficiency.
“Today’s announcement shows the success of our efforts across the business to build our customer base, to innovate, develop and market new products and to streamline the business and reduce costs” he said. “Our top selling products – Messageyou, Outreach Plus, Rollmarker – continue to drive revenue growth from our customer base of Australian private and government schools”
“As expected, our first half results show the emergence of financial benefits from our investment in cloud and smartphone apps. Our new products and upgrades are lifting message traffic and yield per customer as MGM Wireless products are being used more often and for higher value applications” he said.
Sales revenue increased by 36% for the period to be $2.21 million compared with $1.62 million in the previous corresponding period. The number of schools contracted at 31 December was 1,143, 4% higher than the previous corresponding figure of 1,099. Message traffic grew by 16% over the 2014 first half, reflecting the versatility and utility for schools communicating with the latest smart phones and tablets.
Market performance had seen solid contributions from established products such as messageyou and Outreach being supplemented by additional income generated by the growing suite of new and upgraded products MGM Wireless had launched over the past 12 months such as RollMarker, PinPoint and Outreach+. The company expects to roll out further upgrades and new products in 2015.
Mr Fortunatow said that advances in technology, coupled with the consumer adoption and escalating use of smartphones was creating an opportunity-rich environment for the company.
“Smartphones are becoming ubiquitous and more sophisticated. Not only are they being used more, but advances in technology are enabling the development of new applications to meet user needs in a more efficient and richer manner” he said. “For MGM Wireless, this provides the opportunty to upgrade or develop new applications that give our users improved outcomes

and our company added revenue at a higher value product mix”.
As an example, the Outreach+ upgrade had proven popular with schools as it enabled newsletters, voice clips and forms to be sent by SMS.
Cash generation and balances were a feature of the half year result, with the company generating cash before interest and tax of $854,918, 50% higher than the previous corresponding figure of $569,298. Increased tax payments resulted in net cash generation from operations of $351,401, down from $417,138 in the 2014 first half. Cash balances at 31 December of $1.61 million were up 49% on the period’s opening balance of $1.01 million.
Mr Fortunatow said the cash positon would be used to drive growth. “Our strong cash generation and balances means we can fund growth opportunities whilst continuing to invest in the vital ingredient of Research and Development,” Mr Fortunatow said.
As previously advised, the six months to December is expected to account for the major share of earnings in the 2015 financial year. Current expectations of results for the second six months to June are for earnings broadly comparable to the June 2014 half, which would provide a full year result significantly above the 2014 net profit after tax of $717,541.
Mr Fortunatow said the company expected an exciting period of “ongoing development and new opportunities” for MGM Wireless over the balance of the year.
“Our first half results have been very pleasing and are a credit to our small team and the hard work they have invested. However we see further prospects to increase the penetration and revenue generation of our products and are resolved to capitalise on the opportunity before us.
“We believe we have the resources and business model to realise this. Now it is a matter of delivering the innovation, product development and the market share gains that will translate this potential into greater value for our company and shareholders” he said.

Review of Operations
The Directors of MGM Wireless Limited are pleased to report that the company has increased its revenue, profit, cash reserves and shareholders equity during the six months ended 31 December. The improved financial results are the product of growth in customer numbers, revenue per customer and improvements realised in cost and efficiency.

Key items of the financial results and operating performance are discussed below:
Profit
The company recorded total comprehensive income for the six months ended 31 December 2014 ("2015 first half”) of $640,217, representing growth of 383% on the previous corresponding result of $132,478. Earnings per share rose from 3.14 cents per share to 7.38 cents per share (diluted)
The 2015 half year included option issue costs of $0.94 million, which are considered a non-operating item and excluded from calculation of underlying profit.
Underlying EBITDA for the 2015 first half was $1,009,912, 108% higher than the 2014 first half comparative of $485,559. The results included a significant improvement in operating margin (EBITDA/Sales revenue) for the period, rising from 30.0% to 45.8%.
Factors in the 2015 first half net profit result include:
-
increased revenue. Revenue for the half year was $2,206,044 compared with $1,621,504 for the same period last year; an increase of 36%, driven by growth in customers and in revenue generated per customer.

-
corporate and administration charges were reduced by 50% to $135,466 through efficiencies and streamlining of back office processes

Cashflow
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $417,138 for the six months ending 31 December 2013 to $351,401 for the same period in 2014.
This decrease arises from the payment of a substantially higher tax liablity on the company’s taxable income for the year ended 30 June 2014 when compared to that paid in the same period in 2013. Cash generated from operations prior to interest and tax rose substantially in comparison with the previous correspoinding period, being $854,918 compared with $589,940.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
Significant accounting policies
1.1 Statement of compliance
The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. The half-year report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and shall be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.
1.2 Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the company’s 2014 annual financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2014, except for the impact of the Standards and Interpretations described below. These accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with International Financial Reporting Standards.
MGM Wireless Limited (”the Group”) has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current half-year.

Part C: ‘Materiality’
Impact of the application of AASB 1031 ‘Materiality’ (2013)
The revised AASB 1031 is an interim standard that cross-references to other Standards and the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (issued December 2013) that contain guidance on materiality. The AASB is progressively removing references to AASB 1031 in all Standards and Interpretations, and once all these references have been removed, AASB 1031 will be withdrawn. The adoption of AASB 1031 does not have any material impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Impact of the application of AASB 2012-3 ‘Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities’ The Group has applied the amendments to AASB 132 for the first time in the current year. The amendments to AASB 132 clarify the requirements relating to the offset of financial assets and financial liabilities. Specifically, the amendments clarify the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off’ and ‘simultaneous realisation and settlement’.
The amendments have been applied retrospectively.
The Group has assessed whether certain of its financial assets and financial liabilities qualify for offset based on the criteria set out in the amendments and concluded that the application of the amendments does not have any material impact on the amounts recognised in the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Impact of the application of AASB 2013-3 ‘Amendments to AASB 136 – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets’
The Group has applied the amendments to AASB 136 for the first time in the current year. The amendments to AASB 136 remove the requirement to disclose the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) to which goodwill or other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives had been

----- End of picture text -----
allocated when there has been no impairment or reversal of impairment of the related CGU.
Furthermore, the amendments introduce additional disclosure requirements applicable to when the recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is measured at fair value less costs of disposal.
These new disclosures include the fair value hierarchy, key assumptions and valuation techniques used which are in line with the disclosure required by AASB 13 ‘Fair Value Measurements’.
The application of these amendments does not have any material impact on the disclosures in the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Impact of the application of AASB 2013-4 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting’
The Group has applied the amendments to AASB 139 for the first time in the current year. The amendments to AASB 139 provide relief from the requirement to discontinue hedge accounting when a derivative designated as a hedging instrument is novated under certain circumstances. The amendments also clarify that any change to the fair value of the derivative designated as a hedging instrument arising from the novation should be included in the assessment and measurement of hedge effectiveness.
As the Group does not have any derivatives that are subject to novation, the application of these amendments does not have any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Impact of the application of AASB 2013-5 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Investment Entities’
The Group has applied the amendments to AASB 10, AASB 12 and AASB 127 for the first time in the current year. The amendments to AASB 10 define an investment entity and require a reporting entity that meets the definition of an investment entity not to consolidate its subsidiaries but instead to measure its subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in its consolidated and separate financial statements.
To qualify as an investment entity, a reporting entity is required to:
- obtain funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing them with investment management services;

-
commit to its investor(s) that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income, or both; and
-
measure and evaluate performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis.
Consequential amendments have been made to AASB 12 and AASB 127 to introduce new disclosure requirements for investment entities.
As the Company is not an investment entity (assessed based on the criteria set out in AASB 10 as at 1 January 2014), the application of the amendments does not have any material impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Impact of the application of AASB 2013-9 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards’ – Part B: ‘Materiality’
This amending standard makes amendments to particular Australian Accounting Standards to delete references to AASB 1031, at the same time it makes various editorial corrections to Australian Accounting Standards as well. The adoption of amending standard does not have any material impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Impact of the application of AASB 2014-1 ‘Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards’
Part A: ‘Annual Improvements 2010-2012 and 2011-2013 Cycle’
The Annual Improvements 2010-2012 Cycle include a number of amendments to various AASBs, which are summarised below.
The amendments to AASB 2 (i) change the definitions of ‘vesting condition’ and ‘market condition’; and (ii) add definitions for ‘performance condition’ and ‘service condition’ which were previously included within the definition of ‘vesting condition’. The amendments to AASB 2 are effective for share-based payment transactions for which the grant date is on or after 1 July 2014.
The amendments to AASB 3 clarify that contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability should be measured at fair value at each reporting date, irrespective of whether the contingent consideration is a financial instrument within the scope of AASB 9 or AASB 139 or a non-financial asset or liability. Changes in fair value (other than measurement period adjustments) should be recognised in profit and loss.

----- End of picture text -----
The amendments to AASB 3 are effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after 1 July 2014. The amendments to AASB 8 (i) require an entity to disclose the judgements made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments, including a description of the operating segments aggregated and the economic indicators assessed in determining whether the operating segments have ‘similar economic characteristics’; and (ii) clarify that a reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets should only be provided if the segment assets are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker.
The amendments to the basis for conclusions of AASB 13 clarify that the issue of AASB 13 and consequential amendments to AASB 139 and AASB 9 did not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at their invoice amounts without discounting, if the effect of discounting is immaterial. As the amendments do not contain any effective date, they are considered to be immediately effective.
The amendments to AASB 116 and AASB 138 remove perceived inconsistencies in the accounting for accumulated depreciation/amortisation when an item of property, plant and equipment or an intangible asset is revalued. The amended standards clarify that the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset and that accumulated depreciation/amortisation is the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount after taking into account accumulated impairment losses.
The amendments to AASB 124 clarify that a management entity providing key management personnel services to a reporting entity is a related party of the reporting entity. Consequently, the reporting entity should disclose as related party transactions the amounts incurred for the service paid or payable to the management entity for the provision of key management personnel services. However, disclosure of the components of such compensation is not required.
The ‘Annual Improvements 2011-2013 Cycle’ include a number of amendments to various AASBs, which are summarised below.
The amendments to AASB 3 clarify that the standard does not apply to the accounting for the formation of all types of joint arrangement in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself.

Half Year Report – 31 December 2014
----- End of picture text -----
The amendments to AASB 13 clarify that the scope of the portfolio exception for measuring the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis includes all contracts that are within the scope of, and accounted for in accordance with, AASB 139 or AASB 9, even if those contracts do not meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities within AASB 132.
The amendments to AASB 140 clarify that AASB 140 and AASB 3 are not mutually exclusive and application of both standards may be required. Consequently, an entity acquiring investment property must determine whether:
-
a) the property meets the definition of investment property in terms of AASB 140; and
-
b) the transaction meets the definition of a business combination under AASB 3.
Part B: ‘Defined Benefit Plans Employee Contributions (Amendments to AASB 119)’
The amendments to AASB 119 clarify how an entity should account for contributions made by employees or third parties to defined benefit plans, based on whether those contributions are dependent on the number of years of service provided by the employee.
For contributions that are independent of the number of years of service, the entity may either recognise the contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered, or to attribute them to the employees’ periods of service using the projected unit credit method; whereas for contributions that are dependent on the number of years of service, the entity is required to attribute them to the employees’ periods of service.
Part C – ‘Materiality’
This amending standard makes amendments to particular Australian Accounting Standards to delete their references to AASB 1031, which historically has been referenced in each Australian Accounting Standard. The adoption of amending standard does not have any material impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements.

1.3 Critical accounting judgements and estimates
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated judgements are based on historical experience and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the group. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
1.3.1 Internally generated intangible assets
In order to carry out the principal activities of the consolidated entity, a number of intangible assets are generated internally. These assets represent development expenditure incurred in the generation of specific products which will be marketed to consumers. Identification of the amount of development expenditure on individual products is a time consuming process, and as such, is performed in detail on an annual basis at 30 June each year. To determine the balance at 31 December 2014, an expectation has been made based on the amount capitalised at 30 June 2014, with any required adjustment being made to reflect known material variances in projects year on year.
1.3.2 R&D tax incentive receivable
The R&D tax incentive is received annually from the Australian Tax Office based on the amount of eligible research and development expenditure incurred by the consolidated entity each year. Identification of the amount of eligible research and development expenditure is a time consuming process, and as such, is performed in detail at 30 June each year. To determine the balance at 31 December 2014, an expectation has been made based on the R&D tax incentive received for 30 June 2014, with any required

adjustment being made to reflect known material variances in operations year on year.
2. Segment information
AASB 8 Operating Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.
In both the current and previous reporting period the Group has only been operating in one business sector and reporting to Management has been on a geographical basis. Each company represents a strategic business unit that offers different risks and rates of returns. This is the basis by which Management controls and reviews the operations of the Group.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies.
